Arx-1500 Cable Requirement - F5 ARX-VE Planning Manual

Table 1.10 ARX-500 Required Power and Data Cables (Continued)
Qty. Cable/Cord
1 Console cable with
RJ-45-to-DB9 adapter
1 Ethernet cables for
connection to 10/100 Mbps
Ethernet management port
(RJ-45 connector);
2 Ethernet cables for
connection to 100/1000
Mbps Ethernet (RJ-45
connectors)
a.Gigabit Ethernet ports support automatic MDI/MDIX cross-over. This feature automatically corrects the polarity of the
attached CAT5 cable, regardless whether it is a cross-over or straight-through type. However, for this feature to work, the
port speed must be set to auto (auto-negotiate) through the CLI. When the port speed/duplex is forced (auto-negotiate is
disabled), automatic MDI/MDIX cross-over is disabled, and you must cable the port using standard cross-over or
straight-through cabling.

Two copper Gigabit Ethernet
ports:
• one for client/server traffic
(Port 1/1), and
• one for the dedicated
redundancy link (Port 1/2)
The Following table lists the required cables and power cords for the switch.
All cables except the AC power cord and console cable are
customer-supplied.
